It's a doddle. The pre in my stingray didn't require any soldering as it had little screw connections. Just take your time and follow the simple yet detailed instructions and it'll be fine.

Now up on another site with some interest. This is a chance to grab a bargain. -
Thanks chaps. As always I will listen to sensible offers.

I met John when I picked up a 3 band preamp for a stingray a few weeks back. A very nice chap and clearly a bit of a genius. He was really good to talk to and seems very humble about his products. So happy with the results in the stingray that I'm pretty sure both my jazzes will be sporting John's products before the end of the year.

A major project - renovating a Trace Elliot V4 15" combo

I was a snowboard instructor in Andorra in 2007. Based in Arinsal and used to gig a bar there most weeks with a bunch of other instructors. -
NOW £580!! For Sale is a full Bill Fitzmaurice PA system. I built this last year when I was an authorised BFM builder and it is a great sounding and loud setup. The cabs are super lightweight and this will destroy Mackie, Jbl and many other big brand competitors for clarity, volume and dispersion. Comes complete with EQ, Crossover, amp for tops, amp for subs, stands and all connecting cables. All you will need is a mixer. Comprises: [list] [*]2 x BFM DR200 tops with Eminence Beta 8a and melded cross firing tweeters. [*]2 x BFM Titan 39 subs 21 inch wide with Eminence Delta 12lf [*]1 x Behringer EP2500 amp (for subs) [*]1 x Behringer EP1500 amp (for tops) [*]1 x Behringer FBQ1502 EQ [*]1 x Behringer CX2310 Crossover [*]1 x Spider 6u Case (all amps and outboards wired up tidily inside including power so requires only one power outlet) [*]4 x 6m Speakon - speakon cables [*]2 x Tripod speaker stands (well used and a bit tired with various nuts and bolts replaced but functional) [/list] All parts are in full working condition and all cabs are very tidy. System sounds great with amazing off axis performance. All cabs are 8ohm. I'm now selling it as our needs have changed and we now use a small active system. This is collection only and I'm not looking to split at this time.

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1414012778' post='2584933'] Do you know for one? [/quote] Afraid not. I had one from 1993 - 2011 and it was very good indeed. Keep searching as they go for silly money when they come up.

Series 6 12 band 200w 1x15 combo. Reliable as anything and small footprint. May weigh a bit but louder than most modern 500w combos and great tone shaping. Plus will take an extension cab if really necessary.

Dan bought an amp head off me this weekend. A really easy chap to deal with and very nice to meet too. Super swift payment, great communication and absolutely no problems with collection. Deal with Deedee with confidence!

Good to see lots of others like John's preamps too. Tempted to put one in my Jazz now as it seems it may reduce the scoop effect of having both pups on full.

Well last night I used a clone stingray I picked up here on this very forum at a pub gig. I've had the bass a week or two and my first move was to whip out the passive circuitry, route out a slot for a 9v battery box and then drop in a John East three knob, three band preamp. The bass plays really well after a swift setup so I thought it would be great to have a low value stingray that I can take to pubs and if I ever go for the real deal I can take the east pre out and use it in that. I picked the preamp up from John's workshop myself so had a good chat with him. What a smashing chap he is. Clearly very passionate about quality and making really usable products. It was a doddle to fit it with the only slight tricky bit being the need to route out a chamber for the battery box. Holy crap it sounds killer. So damn punchy and total control over the sounds. So versatile it's unreal. I'm really impressed as were the band last night. Defo a keeper and that preamp is fantastic. One happy bass player here.

Matamp GT200 MK2 & Matching 8x10 - WITHDRAWN

Tempted to sell my wife and change my name to "Steve Tay-ste Taylor". -
Thanks Dad3353, I can't really explain it myself but it is easily louder than my genz streamliner 900 and I have never had to go past 4 o'clock.
-
Haha prefer not to do installments but will listen to offers on price. Yep although it would be plenty loud with one 8ohm cab you'd feel like you weren't getting full bang for buck as it'll comfortably run 4 8ohm cabs lol.

Up for the start of a new week.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1412961677' post='2573726'] Yes but you know what I mean. Round here, you'd get pretty short change from the audience unless you did something pretty special with it. I can think of a few places where some would walk out... [/quote] We've only ever played it twice. On both occasions it was a request from some drunken punter but on both occasions everyone has gone absolutely nuts for it. Last time was at the Xmas staff bash for a massive retail outlet company and we had the chief executive playing air guitar on the bar.

I try really hard not to buy anything made in China. I'm sure they can make things well but I have way too many issues with China (human rights issues, animal welfare etc etc etc) to want to support their economy.

Just received a Stingray clone from Dunc in the post. A most excellent buying experience all round. Great comms, swift dispatch and really well packaged. Would buy from him anytime. Thanks Dunc!

Bump. Will listen to sensible offers.

Hi MikeyD, I PM'd you a week or so back bit not sure you picked it up. If you're still teaching and have space for one more then I'm looking for a local teacher. Cheers Tom

Oh god, bang goes next yrs holiday. New cab it is then.

FS / FT is my biblically loud Trace Elliot head. It's a fabulous head in good condition despite being almost 20 yrs old. Everything works as it should including the UV lamp. Two outputs putting out 300watts each at 4ohms and loads of options for routing effects. I'm after £300 collected from Northants (nr Silverstone - M1 J15a / M40 J10). I won't post due to weight. You are very welcome to come for a no obligations try. I have lots of cabs or you are welcome to bring you own and you can turn it up as loud as you want. I make a decent cuppa and there's always biscuits in the house. Trade wise I'm only interested in a Fender Precision with a maple neck. I can put cash your way for the right bass.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1412110602' post='2565839'] Plug the existing 10 mm holes first (with dowelling..?); you'll get a better cut, I'd suggest. [/quote] This. It makes life a lot easier.

I made cardboard jackets for mine using old boxes and a mountain of duck tape. Needless to say they look crap but they do the job. They will however need replacing every three months lol and don't like the rain.
